I was lucky enough to be invited to photograph the dress rehearsal for the Stirling and Bridge Of allan Operatic Society’s production of The Music Man (www.sabos.co.uk). This is looking like a great production of this popular show, with great songs like "Goodnight My Someone" and of course the classic "76 Trombones".

So, I now have just over 1000 photographs to process… but this was one of the ones that jumped out. Here, Professor Howard Hill extolls the virtues of having a town band!

If you’re anywhere in Central Scotland and looking for a great evening out, I would recommend going to see this show – great energy and toe-tapping tunes make for a great evening out. Check the macrobert box office on 01786 466666 to see if there are any seats left!
